Rossignol Experience 86 Basalt Skis 2023

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker-Camber

Sidecut

All Trail Sidecut– Instant turn initiation and powerful exit for smooth carving performance on any terrain.

Core

Paulownia Wood Core– The paulownia wood core reduces the ski´s weight by up to 30% for improved agility and handling while retaining control.

Laminates

Basalt– Stronger and lighter than fiberglass and with more elasticity than carbon, basalt fibers enhance power and stability while removing vibrations.

Drive Tip Solution– Drive Tip Solution blends directional fibers in the tip with soft dampening material through the forebody to absorb vibration for confidence-boosting control.

Sidewalls

Rectangular Sidewalls– Rectangular Sidewall constructions feature a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Specs

• Terrain: All-Mountain More

  Terrain

  
  
  All-MountainAll-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
  
  
  
• Skis: No Bindings
• Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced More

  Ability Level

  
  
  Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
  
  
  
• Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber More

  Rocker Type

  
  
  Rocker/CamberRocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
  
  
  
• Turning Radius: Short More

  Turning Radius

  
  
  Short< 16 m radius is best for carving.
  
  
  
• Core/Laminates: Basalt, Wood
• Tail Type: Flat More

  Tail Type

  
  
  FlatThis is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
